This is rubbish.

Commercial workflow solutions always open Quark files from
the server. This causes problems only if you have a
corrupted desktop file (with Helios EtherShare this might
happen if you are playing in the Unix file system) or you
have no way to store alias information on the server volume
(that's what's missing in netatalk).
